FBI Nabs Chicago Transit Authority Radio Hacker

Wh15per writes "The Chicago FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested an individual for misusing Chicago Transit Authority radio systems. Marcel Carter, 20, is charged with violating a US code that forbids interference with transportation operators. A federal complaint alleges he began using a radio to transmit on CTA frequencies in June 2008, often interjecting comments during communications between the agency's control center and train operators. The CTA claims Carter's radio communications were never followed, and passengers were never in danger."

    As I was walking down the street one day
    A man came up to me and asked me what
    The time was that was on my watch, yeah...And I said

    (I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is
    (Care) Does anybody really care (about time)
    If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no)
    We've all got time enough to cry

    And I was walking down the street one day
    A pretty lady looked at me
    And said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead...And I said

    (I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is
    (Care) Does anybody really care (about time)

    People runnin' everywhere
    Don't know where to go
    Don't know where I am

    Have no time to look around
    Just run around, run around and think why

    (Care) Does anybody really care (about time)
    If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no)
    We've all got time enough to die
    Everybody's working (I don't) I don't care (About time)
    About time (Oh no, no) I don't care
